St George's Hall in Liverpool is widely recognized as an outstanding example of neo-classical architecture. Its history and development are well documented, and have been extensively discussed elsewhere. It is not, therefore, the intention of this paper to discuss at any length the historical development of the building and its significance.1,2 Instead, the focus will be on the conservation and alteration work which has taken place in the past few years, with a particular emphasis on the most recent phase of work, which is continuing until the Hall's re-opening to the public in 2007.
The areas where changes of use or access requirements have necessitated alteration or intervention are the subject of more detailed analysis. Covering methodology and approach, the discussion centres upon the philosophy behind the interventions and their basis in relation to the surrounding context.
